Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita (716)

Scraggy & The Selfish Gothita!!

On their way to Driftveil City, Ash & Co. meet up with a trainer who is having trouble with her Gothita. The Gothita takes a liking to Ash's Scraggy so the trainer requests Ash trade it to her. Ash refuses this offer and so the trainer challenges him to a battle, and if he loses, he must trade Scraggy. Will Ash win the battle or will he lose Scraggy?

Wow nice it starts with a battle between Axew and Scraggy and they tie haha , I guess we can say Scraggy is definetly battle ready since we know Axew is.
rr
They seem to be great friends now playing with each other, damn cute moment.

I don't think this battle was to determine that at all, Gothita just wanted to battle, that spoiled thing actually came off as kinda courageous.

at Snivy smiling at Axew and Scraggy together, she acted like their mother lol.

I'm 90% certain this girl will come back.

shac I don't consider this a filler :S, the episode was all about developing Axew and Scraggy bound and showing their friendship, we got two battles and like I said I'm certain this girl and Gothitha will come back so its an introduction episode(I might be wrong and she doesn't come back but to me its still not a filler).

I think you are right, the last battle had nothing to do with the 'trade'. Good to see snivy smacking the **** out of that spoiled brat.

Well, to avoid complexity, I consider any episode not having a major battle/evolution to be a filler.

Sure no captures from Gothita and Garbodor(Even though this one was unlikely anyway), but I enjoyed it anyway.

I wouldn't liked Tranquill to battle but at least it was used to help search.

I sort of meant overall, no trade for Scraggy. But anyway, that sort of makes sense, why would they have a battle to decide it again, but I still see no point in the battle anyway. That could have been used for something else.

Like Gothita changing it's ways or something like that.

I don't think this girl will come back, she doesn't seem like a rival for Ash to me, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for Ash to get a 4th rival now.

The best part was when pikachu tries to talk to Garbodor to calm it down, but gothita being the brat she is just tries to attack garbodor again; and then snivy smacks her in the butt. I lol'd at that.

I sort of meant overall, by the time Gothita was defeated, there was no way Koharu could have traded it by that time, otherwise it probably would've been too short and knowing how pushy she is, she could have turned it into a battle with a trade on the line.

But like I said, that battle seems even more pointless, especially when Gothita was still a brat by the end.

Wait a second Pepsi and Shac.

Look what Bulbapedia says.

"Her Gothita took a liking to Ash's Scraggy and wanted her to battle Ash for ownership of him. Not being able to say no to Gothita, she agreed to it. Of course Ash refused to battle her if those were the wages. However, Koharu taunted him until he eventually agreed. He was able to knockout her Mandibuzz with his Tepig before the rest of the battle was canceled by rain. The next day she battled against him again. This time she used her Gothita while he used his Snivy. The battle ended in a loss for Koharu and she was forced to run after her Gothita who left the scene in a fit over the loss."

Looks like it was meant to be a 3 vs. 3 or a 2 vs. 2 battle, but after Ash won the first battle, the rain canceled the rest.

Hum, is there any need for a reason to a pokemon trainer to fight each other?

Gothita was pissed at Snivy and asked her trainer to battle it, Satoshi and Snivy accepted the challenge, the episode hinted at a confrontation, so it made sense lol.

I don't mean her as a direct rival like Belle or Shooti, something Kenyan a minor rivalry but she has a pokemon with a nice personality to make her appear again, has two badges so she is going for the league and actually got a not to bland design(even though it was kinda bland).

So I definetly can see her appearing atleast in the league.

Hum, so who wrote that on Bulbapedia? someone who actually translated it or someone who though it was like that and wrote it there(like people do it sometimes) if that is true I'm fine either way lol.

She still asked to specifically fight Snivy due to their confrontation.

Exactly she is still a brat that is why I see her and her trainer coming back, besides the badges.
